The updates include the following:
1. Relevance to global health
As a truly global journal, SRHM has always welcomed submissions from and relevant to low- and middle-income countries. We now request that each manuscript contains, in addition to a rights focus, a clear discussion of its relevance to sexual and reproductive health and rights in a global context.
2. Equity in global collaborations
SRHM has always strongly advocated for equitable partnerships from inception, throughout the research process, and during the writing and publication of manuscripts – a position that extends to expectations for appropriate author roles for colleagues and partners in study settings. The journal now asks all authors to include a reflexivity statement in their manuscript to describe the composition of the authorship group (even for single-author manuscripts) in terms of geographic location, background, gender and seniority, as well as any other considerations that might be relevant.
3. Use of generative AI
With continued growth and development in the AI sector, it is likely that this technology will play an increasing role in both research and scholarly publishing. While we appreciate that it is a dynamic field with significant potential, it is important that authorship roles are reserved exclusively for humans and also that authors are transparent about the use of such technology. Where generative AI has been used, we ask that authors provide details in their cover letter and within the manuscript text. SRHM strongly advocates for equitable partnerships from inception, throughout the research process, and during the writing and publication of journal articles. | | | Online memorial for Charles Ngwena
